Abstract

The Nigeria and organizational strata is infested with inefficient and ineffectiveness, both public and private sector organization. Employee Onboarding is a complex and multifaceted concept that requires a holistic approach to management and leadership. Employee onboarding is the process of integrating new employees into an organization and providing them with the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools to become productive and effective members of the team. The target of this paper is to find out reasons for the existence of inefficient and ineffectiveness in an organization. Data were obtained from scholarly databases such as Google scholar as well as grey literature through predetermined material selection. The Erik Erikson's theory of socialization, also known as the theory of psychosocial development was adopted as theoretical framework for analysis. The theory believed that socialization involves the acquisition of a set of cultural and social values and norms that shape an individual's identity and personality. However, a poor onboarding experience was found which led to disengagement, negative impacts on team morale and productivity. Effective onboarding practices can help ensure a successful transition for new employees and contribute to their long-term success within the organization. Efficient operations in business, effective leadership and Continuous improvement were recommended.
